ASTM E178: Standard Practice for
Dealing With Outlying Observations[14]
Mahalanobis distance and leverage are
often used to detect outliers, especially
in the development of linear regression
models.
Subspace and correlation based
techniques for high-dimensional
numerical data[13]
Peirce's criterion
It is proposed to determine in a
series of observations the
limit of error, beyond which all
observations involving so great
an error may be rejected,
provided there are as many as
such observations. The
principle upon which it is
proposed to solve this problem
is, that the proposed
observations should be rejected
when the probability of the
system of errors obtained by
retaining them is less than that
of the system of errors
obtained by their rejection
multiplied by the probability of
making so many, and no more,
abnormal observations.

page 516 to Peirce (1982

Astronomy 2:558 by
